j aie some gentlemen in the House, who
seem to think they can elect a Democratic

Till-: KMPKItOll's VISIT.
Dom Pedro seems capable of performing
an immense amount of business,
and yet to have lime for social
enjoyment. He lias paid us a second
visit. Soon after bis arrival, he went
to sec the tinlihished Washington monument.
He and his suit surveyed it
with interest, and offered at once the
best proof of that fact and the most
powerful reproof to our own people,
by subscribing a liberal amount toward
its completion; he, himself,
promising also to send a piece of marble
from JJrazil, to be used in building
the shaft, lie also visited Mount
Vernon, in company with the English
and l>ra/.ilian Ministers, and other
society notables, and is represented as
st and in lt. uncovered, tor some time
over the tomb of him who ha* been
fitly called "The founder of liberty,
the friend of man." The reception
given at the English Legation by Sir
Edward Thornton, on the evening of
the name day, is described by our local
papers as altogether the grandest
affair of the season. It certainly
should have been as it is the first time
that Washington has had the honor of
o m
entertaining a crowned King and
Queen, bom I'edro, with his suite:,
thoroughly examined the public school
system of tins city, and expressed himself
much pleased; in many schools
taking part in the examination of clasmck.
Amid all his activity in the pursuit
of knowledge, we have not heard
that the Em|*croi' made any inquiry
into the peculiar ta'ent of Ainer
officials of the present day, viz; the
ability to spend i>o0,000 a year on a
salary of $8,000. lie does not seem

most notable and into renting episode
during the session wan the presenlation
to General I'ike ot a Iwautilul and
costly Masonic jewel, by the brethren
of the order. The presentation was
made by Robert Toombs, of Georgia.
The jewel is a gold double-headed
eagle, studded with two hundred and
sixty diamond a. In the center of the
eagle's heart is a largo amethyst in the
form of a triangle, in which in inserted
the figures ,403," in gold. Over the
head ot the egle is a crown compos
ed entirely of rubies and diamonds.
In its tajjus the eagle holds a flaming
sword ol gold, front which is suspenda
scroll bearing a suitable inscription.
The cost ot the jewel was $h00. Over
fitly members ot the Scottish Kile
Irom all parts of the United Stales
were present; and a grand batupiel
followed.
TUB MONKV GIVKN Oi l.
The fact that the receipts of the
Government Irom every source are
falling oil, and that the deficit this
Jjscal year will be nearly twenty millions,
has a.vaketied a new interest in
the labor ol the House Appropriation
committee, and it now appears that
w hat w as begun in the spirit ot i etrenclunent
and economy will have to
t?e carried out as a necessity. Jt is
the opinion ol carelul thinkers that
there will be no resumption ol busiI
tiess until after the Presidential elecI
lion, and, in all probability, not until
' the next Administration is inait
guratcd. It is estimated that
the. receipts dunntr the ncii.
j fiscal ywar will bo between thirt y and
j lolly iiiiiliotiR less than the estimates
! for tlio present li&cal year, that?in
I round numbers?the decrease will be
about the sumo as the reductions proposed
by the House. For ibis reason,
; ' here is good ground to believe that
! the Senate conference committee will
j no longer oppose the reductions, and
| that the Diplomatic and Consular bill
j w 4.1 pass substantially as it left the
House.
Clayton's civil rkkyick hill,
No bill lias been introduced in either
House this session, whiih more
plainly bears the ear-murks oi ignorance
and deuiagogucry than the bill
introduced by the Senator from Arkansas
providing that civil appointments

and the District of Columbia.

There seems to be at least the prospect
ot some difficulty regarding the
' election of Congressmen in Indiana
and Ohio next tall. The State Constitutions
provide tor election* in October,
while the law of Cong revs tixes
November as the time for holding
such election in all Slates. Morion
has written to the Chairman of the Indiana
Republican State Committee that
the elections will be legal if held in
October, yet it is possible that a contest
will be necessary before it will be
decided.

Sciit'Yi.Kit Coi.fax went out of public

the brand ol Corruption and perjury
stamped upon his brow, llis way was
lo alfect superior morality, to lecture
before the Young Men's Christian
Associations, to ingratiate himself with
the Odd Fellows and kindred societies,
and in this way lo gain the confidence
of the public, the better to practise
his rascalities. For a long time he

the weakness ot human nature,
